Abstract

Daerah pesisir memiliki tingkat kemiskinan yang tinggi akibat ketidakpastian ekonomi saat nelayan tidak melaut akibat cuaca buruk, dan sebagian besar hanya bergantung pada penangkapan ikan di laut. Hal ini menjadi tantangan dan permasalahan yang harus dicarikan solusinya oleh pemerintah desa yang wilayahnya berbatasan dengan pantai untuk meningkatkan pendapatan nelayan. Kegiatan Kuliah Kerja Nyata Tematik ini dilaksanakan selama tiga bulan berkat kerjasama Universitas Pembangunan Panca Budi dan Kelurahan Sei Bilah Timur. Program KKNT bertujuan untuk mengatasi permasalahan ekonomi, kesehatan, dan UMKM di masyarakat. Metode pelaksanaannya adalah Pendidikan, Pelatihan, dan Advokasi Masyarakat. Pelaksanaan program KKNT (a) Mengedukasi masyarakat tentang pentingnya pencegahan stunting dan mencegah pernikahan dini, (b) Pelatihan teknik printing dan makeup, (c) Advokasi strategi branding produk UMKM. Hasil kegiatan memberikan dampak bagi masyarakat sehingga mereka memahami bahwa banyak kegiatan yang dapat dilakukan untuk meningkatkan pendapatan keluarga selain dari pekerjaan utama mereka sebagai nelayan, seperti menjual produk UMKM dan jasa sablon dan tata rias. Pemahaman masyarakat tentang pencegahan stunting secara tidak langsung meningkatkan ekonomi keluarga. KKNT sebagai program kegiatan membangun desa membangun Indonesia memberikan solusi baru bagi masyarakat untuk pendidikan kesehatan dan UMKM yang secara langsung akan meningkatkan manfaat ekonomi bagi masyarakat pesisir.

Abstract

This study examines the effect of memorable tourism experience on tourist loyalty mediated by tourist satisfaction in visiting the city of Medan. The research design was built using a causal-descriptive approach and supported by the PLS-SEM 2.8 quantitative method implemented to validate the hypothesis empirically. Survey questionnaires were used to collect data. The sample consisted of 210 tourists who visited the city of Medan, both local and national tourists. The results of the R-square test show a robust model, as seen from the percentage value of the tourist loyalty variable of 0.796, influenced by memorable tourism experience and mediated by tourists of 0.463. Besides that. From the research results, all variables, namely memorable tourism experience, traveler satisfaction, and traveler loyalty, have a significant effect. Traveler satisfaction as a mediating variable has a statistically substantial mediating role, from memorable tourism experiences to building tourist loyalty to tourist destinations in Medan City. These findings will be helpful for the local government and tourism industry players in the city of Medan in developing their goals and increasing tourist visits to the city of Medan and other stakeholders.

Success was measured through pre-tests, post-tests, group practice observations, and Likert-scale questionnaires to assess the increase in knowledge, skills, and perceptions of participants regarding the benefits of the training. The results of the activity showed an increase in participants' understanding after participating in the training, especially in the aspect of using Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp Business, and Meta Business Suite as promotional media for school MSMEs.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examines how strategic marketing drivers influence perceived marketing performance in the air conditioner industry and highlights the roles of competitive advantage and technological turbulence in an emerging-market context. Methodology: This study used a quantitative explanatory approach and analyzed data from 398 air conditioner consumers in Medan City, Indonesia, using SmartPLS. Results: Product differentiation strongly and significantly strengthens competitive advantage, and pricing strategies significantly improve perceived marketing performance. Perceived marketing capabilities also enhance competitive advantage, although they shape performance primarily through indirect pathways. Electronic word?of?mouth, brand reputation, competitive advantage, and technological turbulence do not significantly predict perceived marketing performance directly. These statistically non-significant paths clarify important boundary conditions: middle-income urban consumers who purchase durable goods, such as air conditioners, pay more attention to functional product attributes and value-for-money considerations than to reputational signals, online buzz, or environmental turbulence when they evaluate marketing success. Conclusions: The findings indicate that, in the air conditioner market in emerging urban settings, firms that emphasize product uniqueness and value-based pricing achieve superior perceived marketing performance, while reputational, e-WOM-related, and turbulence-related factors play more selective and context-dependent roles. Limitations: This study focuses on Medan City and perceived marketing performance, which narrows the generalizability of the findings to other regions, segments, and industries. Contributions: This study advances the strategic marketing literature by presenting an integrated model that identifies which strategic marketing drivers most effectively build competitive advantage and perceived marketing performance and by demonstrating when widely cited drivers exert weaker direct effects.
